Is Your Wife "A Segger.

| was conversipg the other evening
quaintanc writes Boston correspon-
dent OF the Pittsburg Dispatch on sub
iect which has recently attracted some
attention in the newspapers and maya
zines-namely, the financial relations
that should exist between husband and
wife. The ideas he expressed were 50
strikingly original that can not forbear
to quote them. Said he: Before | aban-
doned the condition of bachelorhood |
had made up my mind, from extended
observations that the average husband
was pig. did not wish to be pig
myself and so | determined to pursue in
everything course precisely the re
verse of that followed by the average
husband. The average husband makes
greal fuss if he is requested to do an
errand. Accordingly | make a point of
asking my wife before | go to my office
every morning for a list of commissions,
which | execute with the utmost care.
The average husband at home DULLES
the woman, frets like a year old infant
over everything that does not suit him,
and makes his family unhappy. try to
do just the opposite. The average hus
band doles out his money to his wife as
if she were beggar. Therefore, | give
my wife every cent earn, and she makes
me an allowance for pocket money.
''For it seems to me- continued this
eccentric young man, 1.-The notion enter
tanned by the average husband concern
ing his wife's rights in the family purse
is as wrong as wrong can be. In sober
truth he thinks she has not any. He
supports the family, and for the money
he generously gives her she should be
duly grateful. Now, in my opinion, this
is false assumption. As a rule, she
does as much to support the family as he
does, and | can very easily prove it,
lake my own case as an example. We
live very comfortably, although our

than one domestic. But if had no wife
| should have to engage housekeeper,
with an under servant, and it would cost
me nearly twice as much to keep up my
little establishment as it does now; in
fact, ! could not live on my income.
Thus, you see, my wife is equally with
myself producer of values. She makes
as much money as | but in another form.
| enjoy share of what she produces. Is
she, then, not entitled to a share of what
| produce? What | have said is simply
intended to cover the case of the average
husband, who is a pig. Certainly no
gentleman who deserves the name will
force his wife to beg for anything he has
to give, whether he has right to it or
not"
Now, did anybody ever hear of such an
absurd Young man as this?

The remains of the late W. S. Pierce,
the express messenger, who was burned to
death in the wreck on the B. & o. road at
Tiffin, Ohio. Monday evening, were
brought to the city yesterday morning on
Captain Savage's train, and taken on
through to Grafton, Mrs. Pierce going on
the same train.
The body was horribly disfgured the
legs being burned off up to the thighs and
the head and neck completely consumed,
while the balance Of the body was black
ened and charred so badly that nearly all
resemblance to a human being was de-
stroyed.
When the remains reached Grafton they
were met by a large concoursC OF sorrowing
friends and the usual crowd of people at
tracted by curiosity. But all hearts beat
in sympathy for the young wife OF five
months from whose bosom terrible form
of death had torn her husband. The re-
mains were inferred in the National ceme-
terry ut Grafton yesterday afternoon.
At the head of the articles la fair like
ners of the unfortunate man, who was
quite young. He was formerly postal
clerk but had been for some time running
as u messenger. He was steady young
man and filed his position in an efficient
manner, and his death is mourned by a
large circle of friends and acquaintance.
The Bellaire people in the train that was
wrecked were Miss Minnie Hoffman, Grant
Mansel and Will Simpson, while f. T.
Cowan, of Chicago, who had been visiting
friends in Bellaire, was also a passenger.
A dispatch received by relatives Of Miss
Hoffman aud Mr.. COwan stated that the
Bellaire people were all safe.

MISSIONARY WORK.
THE LABORS OF MISS LIZZIE BOYD ABOUT
THE CITY.
Her Monthly Report to Chairman D. A. Gun
ingham, Of the Minister'S
Committee.

The following letters tell their own
story of the good work being done in this
city, in a quiet and unobtrusive way, by
the Committee of Ministers in charge of
Miss Lizzie Boyd's operations
To The Editor of the Register:
SIR:-While there are many evil infu-
ences at work in our city for running the
souls of men and women, there is one eff
ficient yet modest agency at work for good
which is not so generally known, performed
by Miss Lizzie Boyd, under the supervision
Of committee appointed at a meeting of
ministers. The committee consists of
Drs. Cunningham, Randolph, and Mr.. John
Bailey. That the people may understand
something OF the nature and import
ance OF the work, l herewith enclose
Miss Boyd's report for the month of
December, which ought to awaken the
Christian public, and call forth the liberal
and hearty support of all who are interes-
ted in the welfare of our city. This is an
undenominationable work; it is work for
Christ, in the interests of the lonely and
the obscure; by this kindly agency homes
are entered, and hearts are gladdened,
which otherwise would be left in darkness,
sin and sorrow. Mr.. John Bailey, under
the Mcclure House, is the treasurer of the
fund for carrying on this work, and will
gladly receive the contribution of the peo-
pie. Let each congregation have some one
to look after the offerings for this cause in
its own hands, and the amount will be
secured. ID. A. CUNNINGHAM,
Chairman of Committee.
